I was in some kind of closed beta phase a while back. I don't remember when exactly. This game is basically a subpar, clunky, ugly WoW clone with none of the polish or charm. I'm amazed that they haven't been sued by Blizzard; maybe it's *just* different enough to avoid a lawsuit.

I remember reading on the forums that one of the continents used to be called "Asheroth", and when called out on it, David Allen defended it by saying that he had the idea for Asheroth before WoW came out, nevermind the fact that, as far as I can remember, Warcraft's world has been called Azeroth since the beginning, almost 20 years ago.

I then notice that the continent is no longer called "Asheroth".

Honestly, this game is nothing more than a crappy, amateurish WoW clone. But then again, what more can you expect from the guy behind Horizons, the game that promised the moon and stars and sun and ended up delivering pretty much none if its promised features except an admittedly decent crafting system. But about a quarter of the races made it in, there was absolutely no political system as promised, no family system as promised, no underwater city as promised (in fact, you can't even swim in Horizons), and the game is one of the biggest failures to ever hit the market. I feel bad for whoever Allen scammed to get the money for this piece of rubbish.
